Here were in front of the ugliest house on the nicest block a bungalow in San Francisco. This may not be a true bungalow, or one you would’ve found in a Sears & Roebuck catalog back in 1915. However it is from 1912 and has a low, sad dormer, some brackets, exposed rafter ends, and shingles. Random thought is that it was built the year the Titanic sank, and as we started demolition the Italian cruiser tipped over – this must mean good luck! We can’t modify the front too much due to its age and status as a potential historic resource. Around back there is a flat-roofed segment of the building added in two parts over the years. The garden is filled with beautiful roses and other flowering plants from the former owners. The lot slopes down away from the house and the views are far and wide: This view is from the top floor. That tree doesn’t bug me. At the top floor back of the house is a dormer similar to the one at the front which doesn’t really do the view justice – Part of the remodel involves extending this top floor to accommodate larger master bedroom suite that open up to the view, while maintaining roofdeck space for plantings and star-gazing. The view pans around and up to a nearby hilltop. Inside we’ve got the usual suspects: a somewhat vintage kitchen with some appliance ‘updates’ that result in a jumbled room – with potential, of course. The kitchen floor is classic! I think my grandmother had the same one: Downstairs is some more flooring – and typical ‘basement’ paneling from the 60s or 70s: Upstairs another vintage find is some loud, splashy wallpaper – great to wake up to but try falling asleep: We’ve got big plans for the house so check back soon for more – in fact, demo has already begun and all the stuff seen here has been passed on to places and friends for reuse – be green! – (shutters, doors, lights, appliances etc) including me: I kept the front door and plan to make a table out of it : )
